NetBeans IDE 6.5 Release Candidate 2 Available

This is not really hot news, but I haven't time to write about it yet. The Release Candidate 2 was published on Thursday, but if you missed it you can download the build from here. If you want to know about available features (not only the PHP one), you can read here.

there is opened a tab per single file run. It means if I run file test1.php and then test2.php, then there is opened one output window for test1.php execution and second one for test2.php execution. When you run test1.php again then the original window for test1.php execution is reused.

The condition, which window will be reused is the window descriptor, in this case mainly the file name. Unfortunately this is not configurable in NB 6.5, but I think that it would be good enhancement.

i would be nice to have a option to choose single or multiple tab output window.

by the way i think found bug about output window behavior. when output window which already used to output from scripts closed and than script executed again. it will open new tabs every times same script executed. this behavior only can be avoided or fixed, by close the first tab. so than second tab which now became first tab (i'm using netbeans 6.5 rc2 for php)
